Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: View from the Hide towards the "Feeding Bank", Tringford Reservoir A year or so ago this view would have shown perhaps one hundred water birds, plus some woodland birds. Every day the gamekeeper would put down sackfuls of feed to fatten up the Mallards for the six duck shoots a year. Not only were the mallards busy feeding (some undoubtedly breed elsewhere and introduced 'for the table') but so were other species of ducks, swans, etc. However it was felt that shooting was incompatible with the Site of Special Scientific Interest status and it ended in 2008 - and the waterfowl population dropped considerably. It is perhaps worth remembering that one of the reasons the vegetation round the reservoir is so "wild" is that the area has been managed for shooting by the Rothschild family of Tring for over 100 years.
